You can’t help but know her voice. That high, laughing South Shields burr shot through with self-deprecation and more than her fair share of humour-filled charm.

Sarah Millican turned up on the comedy scene in 2008 armed with a raft of jokes about her divorce and the ensuing two and a half years she spent back at her mum and dad’s house. A terrifying ordeal for almost anyone, she turned the experience into a one-woman show and swiftly won the Best Newcomer Award at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

We haven’t been able to escape her since, not saying you’d want to – she’s the “Queen of Comedy” after all (we’re trying to be nice, she actually really grates…).

The 38-year-old is currently on the third run of her Home Bird tour and is having a two-night stand at Cambridge Corn Exchange to explain how to: behave on a dirty weekend, fit in seamlessly at a posh restaurant and teach an OAP to swear properly. How very educational. Do have fun.

If you can’t make it this time around, she’ll be back in May too. Oh joy.
